Hi everyone,
After a very successful FOSDEM participation in 2006, we are happy to
announce that the openSUSE project will be taking part at FOSDEM 2007!
Besides representing openSUSE with a booth, we managed to get one of the
greatly demanded "devrooms", to conduct sessions centered around the
openSUSE project.
So, first of all, what the heck is "FOSDEM"? Quoting fosdem.org:
is a 2 days event, organized by volunteers, to promote theThe seventh Free and Open source Software Developers' European
Meeting
widespread use of Free and Open Source software. Taking place in the
beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM meetings are recognized as
"The best Free and Open Source events in Europe.
The event will take place *February 24th and 25th 2007* in Brussels
(Belgium).
FOSDEM 2006 attracted over 4000 visitors from all around the world.
Entrance and attendance to the event is totally free of charge! <<
In 2006 we launched the openSUSE build service at FOSDEM and attended
with more than 20 SUSE/Novell people. In fact, we had both a booth and a
"devroom", which was used to conduct several presentations and community
meetings. The overall response to our 2006 activities was very positive!
[Proceedings are available from http://en.opensuse.org/FOSDEM2006]
For 2007, we dare to challenge all of us, the community, to play a much
more active role in making FOSDEM 2007 a great success. Therefore we
would like to open a "call for papers" and encourage everyone to send
proposals to the opensuse-project@xxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list. Proposals
should be submitted by
*January 15th 2007*.
We will do our very best to support all community activities around
FOSDEM. Please share your ideas, visions, and comments regarding a
successful FOSDEM participation with us. FOSDEM will be the forum for
open discussions about the future of openSUSE.
We are looking forward to meeting all of you at FOSDEM 2007!
A happy holiday season and a great new year to all of you!
Your openSUSE team

I talked last year, so who will be able to talk this year? I don't have
anything to say, so it won't be me. I WILL definatly be there. The last
time as a present they send many people the boxed set. Also got a nice
T-shirt from Novell (Although I walked around in my own houghi.org shirt
http://www.fosdem.org/2007/ for more info
It is a great way to meet the people behind openSUSE and Novell and see
many other people involved in OSS.
It is also a nice excuse to get utterly and completely pissed on Belgian
beer. :-D

In my opinion if you have bugs down there that are so bad
you need to use a pesticide, you're not gonna get laid anyway.
